EIR's Chaitkin Nails MedPAC for Promoting Nazi Euthanasia

June 15, 2009 (LPAC)—At a press luncheon at the National Press Club today, Executive Intelligence Review correspondent Anton Chaitkin nailed officials of MedPAC (Medicare Payment Advisory Commission) for promoting the same kind of euthanasia program that led to the conviction and execution of Nazi doctors at Nuremberg. Chaitkin confronted MedPAC executive director Mark N. Miller at a media event, rolling out MedPAC's new report to Congress, Improving Incentives in the Medicare Program. The report proposes to slash medical care for targeted segments of the population, using "evidence-based medicine" and other swindles, and strongly advocates "accountable care organizations," such as Kaiser Permanente, which are among the most deadly of the HMOs rationing care on a strictly cost-accounting basis.

MedPAC was established as an independent Congressional agency in 1997, by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. Among the Commission's 17 members is Dr. Francis J. Crosson, associate executive director of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Group.

At one point, MedPAC's Miller paused, and EIR's Chaitkin interrupted with a question on "methodology." Chaitkin accused Miller and MedPAC of promoting a system of government-enforced denial of care to the elderly, to the chronically ill, and to the poor, that will result in millions of needless deaths. He drew the parallel to the Nazi T-4 euthenasia program, which killed several hundred thousand Germans between 1939-1941. Chaitkin cited the Nuremberg prosecutions of the Nazi doctors who administered the T-4 program, and asked Miller how he and his colleagues plan to defend themselves, when a new Nuremberg Tribunal is convened to prosecute them for the same crimes. "That is way off bases," Miller shot back, attempting to steer the discussion onto a different topic by calling on another reporter, and regaining control of the agenda. Later Chaitkin rephrased the question, charging that MedPAC was setting guidelines for cutting off care to the elderly.

Just moments after the MedPAC event concluded in Washington, D.C., President Obama delivered a speech before the American Medical Association in Chicago, in which he called for mandatory enforcement of MedPAC's murderous "recommendations." This is to be a core feature of the Obama health care "reform," and this proves, beyond a doubt, that the plan is a precise replay of Hitler's T-4 euthanasia program.
